Chapter 2: CAM2 Measure Devices Menu
To optimize calibration and minimize
stress-induced errors during this critical
procedure, place the FaroArm in a single
position in which the elbow joint
remains relatively stationary without any
obstructions or restrictions in movement
while the calibration is performed; do
not flop the elbow joint during
calibration. Only the last joint of the
FaroArm must be exercised for the
software to accurately calibrate the probe
tip. Minimizing elbow joint movement
and focusing on the probe and last arm
joint during calibration maximizes
measurement accuracy.
Calibrate Probe
When changing the style or dimension of the probe at the end of the
FaroArm, it must be calibrated for the FaroArm to measure and function
accurately. The probe is calibrated through an optimization procedure
that requires you to digitize points. The two methods of calibration are:
• Single Hole
• Sphere
Click either button to calibrate the current probe. The Single Hole
Calibration method differs depending on whether the G
UIDANCE check
box is selected or cleared. See “Edit Probe” on page 31.
N
OTE: Six axis and Seven axis FaroArms do not have different
calibration procedures.
• See “Single Hole Method - Guidance” on page 34.
• See “Single Hole Method” on page 37.
• See “Sphere Method” on page 39.
